Gifts for Bridesmaids!?! I'm desperate!

Go on etsy.com for something hand-made and individual. I would go there if I wasn't married yet.

Go to a decent dollar store and get picture frames, and give each girl an old picture of the two of you together. Its more special if they each get a different picture.

I really like the pearl necklace idea. Maybe with matching earrings?

Necklaces to wear & keep?

Pearl necklaces are always good to give bridesmaids.

This is true. I offered to give all of my wife's bridesmaids this for the wedding but my wife said it was too much.

Was it out of your budgeted allowance to give all of them a set?

Drunk groomsmen??

The easiest thing is to buy the jewelry they wear in the wedding whether it be earrings, bracelets or necklaces. The other option is a girls only night out or dinner paid by you. Also I know thank you cards seemed to be going away, but make sure they are on your list. Any pre- wedding experience like the mani - pedi is good. Bath sets from the Body Shop or bath and Body works is also nice. If you are having a makeup done, pay for theirs. And yes, when in doubt a gift card is nice, but I would *kitten* a small token like a small candle.

I gave my bridesmaids their jewelry to wear the day of (and after) and small totes with their first initial embroidered on them to carry whatever they needed for the day so they didn't have to worry about carrying around a purse. Good luck and congratulations! :flowerforyou:

Not sure about your budget but, I've had Brides come in and do Build-A-Bears at the store (Build-A-Bear Workshop) for bridesmaids, and or flower girls as a thank you gift. You could do something really simple for just $10 or $15...or if your budget will allow $30/bridesmaid, wait till this Friday...we will have our big yearly promotion where you get any bear, any outfit and any shoe for $29.99...something sweet and unusual they can keep. Then on the birth certificate you can put the date of the wedding as the bear's birthday (the people at the store can actually make these for you in a heartbeat)...then earbows are free so just let them know your wedding colors and they can do that as well as the the tail...

That's my idea....

I think that depends on entirely the amount bridesmaids we are talking about here

I thought it was sweet when my hubby gave this amazing gift to my bridesmaids! He let me watch as he placed it on each one of them...it's those moments you take with you!

That's a great idea. Good include a brooch as well. Accessories of that nature tend to be inexpensive.

I have some favorite things that i have received while being in a wedding. Lets just say I have been in a few. For my sister she got all the bridesmaids makeup bag sets with their initial on them in the colors of the wedding. Lucky for her she was doing black and white. When I was in one of my friends weddings she gave each of the bridesmaides a picture with herself and them in a fairly inexpensive frame from michaels then some of their favorite things and a gift card. I didn't really care about the gift card (10) but it was to my favorite store and that really mattered because there was lots of thought into it. I also got my favorite drinks, candy bar and something else. It wasn't super expensive of a bag but there was a lot of personal attention into it and that really touched me. Another girl got all the bridemaid blue sparkly panties to match hers for the wedding day as that was what her something blue was along with inexpensive jewelry that was to be worn on the wedding day.

I MAKE Swarovski crystal jewelry - necklaces, bracelets, earrings. Have done many for the bride & a couple for the bridesmaids.

Like many, I gave my bridesmaids their necklace & earrings that they wore and could wear again.

I also decorate glass candle holders and vases with the crystals and you could do that with your wedding colors.

Anyone can send me a message if you would like to know more.

I don't think so man... Some are a bit too heavy or bulky. Others are really dull, and you can never tell what kind you're going to get when you order them online.

This is why I didn't have bridesmaids. Or a big wedding, for that matter.

Well, I'd make sure I knew where the source of the pearls came from. I'd like them to have a sparkling luster and a polished shine.

Flasks. No wait.... booze, let's keep it useful. I'm always looked at funny when I drink from a flask. But no one cares if I drink booze from my coffee mug. So booze. Good stuff.
